Podcast Player Reviews in United States ### ***** "Best one out there" I’ve been using iCatcher for years, before Apple could even spell podcast. It’s packed with features and supports downloads making it great for anywhere with marginal internet service. It also protects your privacy. Highly recommended. -- Fast Cayman, 2024-12-30 ### ***** "Best Podcast player I’ve found" Was a longtime user of Overcast until the recent update destroyed it, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll ever be what it once was. Started trialing all the other popular players and they’re either too buggy to use, or require a ridiculous subscription (monthly subscription for a podcast player?! Get real). Finally found iCatcher! and have been very happy with it! A reasonable one time cost, and all the features you could possibly want in a player. -- Bob Sacamono, 2024-12-20 ### ***** "Awesome Price & Amazing Amount of Options" I have low vision, and the loads of options iiCatcher has made it my go to Podcast app. -- Scott101010101, 2024-11-29 ### ***** "Outstanding!" IMO, the best podcast player bar none! -- TheReluctantReviewer625, 2024-11-23 ### ***** "Still the most well-made and most powerful media app in the App Store" I have been using iCatcher for around 13 years. This app is frequently updated with new features, bug fixes, and so on. The author is very responsive, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is extremely configurable. Almost anything you could possibly want to do with a podcast, can be done with this app. Playlist, feed specific sorting, streaming, downloading, playback offsets, priorities, download frequencies, iCloud sync, and lots more I’m forgetting about. And if you’re blind, it is completely accessible to VoiceOver. More people need to find out about iCatcher. -- DarkSquared42, 2024-11-12 ### ***** "Great app, excellent ongoing updates" I have used this app for years as an alternative to the native iOS podcast app. It works great and the developers are constantly adding new features like allowing me to skip ahead x number of seconds within a podcast when I use the skip-track gesture on my ear buds. -- troybrant, 2024-11-07 ### ****- "Stop" I get lost in the multitude of settings, oh for. The app and for individual podcasts. I would like a PDF help book. Particularly, sorting episodes confuses me. -- gmheck, 2024-11-02 ### ***** "Extremely good Apple Watch offline playback" Downloading long MP3’s (audiobooks, podcasts) to my watch for offline playback works perfectly. Best that I’ve been able to find for this purpose. -- nicknameguy2000, 2024-10-31 ### ***** "Great" I listen to about 10 hours a day. I like the easy use and speed controls -- Cj in DE, 2024-10-18 ### ***** "I have enjoyed this app for years!" I don't write reviews very often but I thought it was time to write one for this app. I have been using this for several years and I thought I should support the author with a review. I have left tips to the author since I appreciate the ongoing updates after all this time. It is so much better than the native iOS podcast app and infinitely better than trying to manage podcasts in Spotify. -- This Nickname Taken Is, 2024-10-17 ### ***** "Absolutely the best there is!!!" I use this app every day. It is highly configurable and well thought out. A must have for folks who love podcasts! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 -- iDrive55, 2024-10-15 ### ***** "Why did it take me so long to find this?!" I’ve been looking for a new podcast app as the one I’ve been using for ten years is no longer being updated. I’ve tried a lot of them. I’ve finally found the perfect replacement. iCatcher is privacy oriented, has lots of features, and works perfectly with car play. -- voice__of__reason, 2024-10-01 ### ***** "Awesome 😎 Podcast App ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" Review iCatcher! Works great on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17, and iPad mini 6. I love the shortcuts I can make for this app. Just go to the settings in this app to set it up. This is a very solid app. The person who makes this app updates it often and does an amazing job. I have been using this app for a long time and think it's the best I really like the addition of dynamic text as I use that feature to make the font size large in the accessibility settings on the iPhone and iPad. Btw, I found out I can change the artwork on each podcast. I can pick a photo on my iPhone to add as the photo I will see when I play the podcast Very 😎 I have tried the top podcasting apps and I prefer this one the best. One of the great things about this app is you can really customize this app with a lot of settings, so you can tweak it just the way you like it and you can also use gestures. With gestures you can easily jump backwards, forwards, pause, etc. with the swipe of a finger or double tap anywhere on the screen to pause. It's especially helpful when you're doing other things. Some gestures you can do with this app are the Leo where you do an L or a reverse L to skip ahead or back 2 minutes. Swipe left or right with one finger to go 30 seconds ahead or back. Doing a two finger swipe goes backwards or forwards 1 minute. Double tap to play or pause. There is even a gesture to mark as played, which I enjoy doing 😉 I tried downcast and really tried to like it but I find it very unintuitive, and the way it's organized is not really to my liking. Also this app developer is very responsive. If you have a question or need help, he will get back to you via email from the help button on the bottom. Although within the app you can tap on help and find a lot of information on how to use the app etc. I would suggest looking at that first, cause I found that many of the answers are in there. -- DudemanLA, 2024-09-18 ### **--- "No chapters for audibly" Got the app to be able to transfer some non-DRM audiobooks I have, but unfortunately, after importing the .mb4 files into the iPhone, they're converted and the apps discards the chapters. So if you want to transfer to you AppleWatch you won't have them either of course. So no audiobooks on the go with the watch while leaving the iPhone behind. -- sjordi, 2024-09-01 ### ***** "Best podcast app" I’ve tried many podcast apps over the years, but iCatcher! has been my favorite and remains my favorite. If you listen to a bunch of podcasts, this is the app for you. It has so many customization options, and so many that are just so wonderful I can’t believe other apps don’t already have them (eh hem, like setting to customize the jump forward/back amount, playlists, filtering and cataloging by genres, etc). -- Becca-saurus, 2024-08-25 ### **--- "Indexing Frequently Wrong" Once or twice a week I’ll tap on a podcast to download it and instead it plays a random podcast that I previously downloaded. If I delete that podcast, it will play a different random podcast. Sometimes I have to delete 3 or 4 random podcasts to get it to realize it needs to download the podcast I’m clicking on. In the meantime, every podcast I delete confuses the indexing on those podcasts. -- Kcx9199, 2024-08-24 ### ***** "The Best!" The playback and download options are awesome. The optional themes look great. This is my go to podcast app! Thank you! -- BluSky925, 2024-08-09 ### ***** "Developer is dedicated to keeping great!" Have had this for many years. Meets all my needs. Developer is responsive and always improving. I recommend this app to everyone! -- Relaxin'Joe, 2024-07-26 ### ***** "Complete" Works great and just the way you want it to. Easy to setup and get going. When you want to customize certain things (refresh rate, skip time at beginning, prioritize podcasts) -- all that functionality is there and easy to use. Author is attentive to updates. -- blackeneth, 2024-07-25 ### ***** "I use this every day" This is easily my most used app. -- The Relentless, 2024-06-27 [View all iCatcher!
